A creamy, unfiltered junmai sake from Fushimi, Kyoto, Japan, bottled at 10% ABV in a 750ml format. It is produced by Gekkeikan, a brewery founded in 1637.
The sake is brewed from rice, rice koji and water, with no added artificial additives, preservatives or sulfites. It is strained through a coarse-mesh screen rather than a fine filter, leaving rice sediment suspended for the cloudy appearance and dense, creamy body of the nigori style.
The nose shows dairy-like lactic notes, sweet almond milk, nuttiness, ripe banana, grape and melon. The palate is smooth and mouthcoating, with sweet entry, overripe banana, cantaloupe, milk, honey and tropical fruit, balanced by gentle acidity. The finish is long, with sweet rice and melon and a chalky texture from the suspended sediment.
